i just bought 2 male and 1 fem chis, all 10 weeks, different litters.. how do i breed?

Question

i never breeded before and i need ALOT of help!!!

i dont plan to breed anytime soon, but i have a lot of friends and family looking for purebred with papers, and all mine are, so i just want to know how long to tell them...

all i know is that one of my males is already humping the girl... i have to keep seperating them, they are too young, i have heard they need to be at least 6-8 months

how dare you tell me i am not a responsible breeder... EVERYONE STARTS SOMEWHERE, AND I THINK THAT JUST BY MY BEING ON HERE ASKING QUESTIONS SAYS I AM CARING. I DONT WANT ANY OF MY DOGS TO DIE, SO IF YOU AREN'T GIVING HELPFUL ADVICE, "RABBITMAGE" DONT EVEN RESPOND.

thanks mustanggal, that was REAL ADVICE.

Answer 1

it is advisable to breed them when they are at least a year old but you could start reading some books about breeding, you will get a lot of information you need.

it is really good to be ready to avoid puppy loss. some puppies born looked like dead especially on their first litter and you need to know how to cpr newborn puppies.

go to www.akc.org and you will get more tips on proper breeding and what to expect.

i suggest only 1 father, akc will not accept multiple fathers in one litter.

good luck!

Answer 2

First off, make sure you have protocol in place to be sure the males and females don't breed too young. Carrying a litter too young, especially in such a small breed can be FATAL. Let me repeat that. Breeding your female too young COULD KILL HER. Breeding may kill her anyway, but that's the risk you take. Also, many intact males mark. Invest in some enzyme spray like Nature's Miracle now.

Next, you need to hook up with a mentor and start taking your Chi's to shows. It's personal preference if you want to pay for a handler or show them yourself. If you plan to show them yourself, you should invest in some classes to help you learn the ropes.

Hopefully, your pups grow up to be good examples of the breed, and will earn their Ch. title in conformation shows. When they turn two years (the YOUNGEST you should breed), you'll also need to have their OFA and CERF tests done, to be sure their eyes and hips are healthy. There may be other genetic problems you need to screen for, too.

Next, you need to save up about $5000. Why? Breeding is a big risk. Your female will need regular (every few weeks) vet visits to monitor her pregnancy, added high quality food (not Pedigree, not Iams, not Ol' Roy, something GOOD like Solid Gold). If there is an emergency and she needs a C-section, or if something is wrong with the pups, you'll be glad for that extra money. If you don't have to use it, great! It can go for their puppy food, first shots, worming, microchips, and ideally spay/neuter if they aren't show quality before they go to their new homes at 8-12 weeks old.

If you're unwilling to, or cannot do the things outlined above, then you have no business breeding. There are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Chis and chi mixes dying in shelters right now, and you don't need to add to the death toll.

If your friends and family want purebred, papered Chis, they can go to a responsible breeder (one who does the things outlined above) and buy one, knowing it will be a happy and healthy pup.

And I'm terribly sorry that it's so difficult for you to hear the truth of the matter. In the real world, animals are dying due to people breeding just because. A person who wants to be a responsible breeder starts out with one dog, usually, under the guidance of a responsible breeder. The fact that you're asking questions here tells me you're not doing that.

Answer 3

Do not breed until they are at least one year and 3.5 lbs. AKC says 9 mo. (I think) but conventional wisdom says longer, preferably 1.5 to 2 years. It is inadviseable to breed a female chi smaller than 3.5 lbs and the male needs to be smaller than the female. Also have them evaluated by your vet before breeding.

Know your breed standard (www.akc.org) and evaluate your dogs once they reach adulthood. If they do not conform to the breed standard, do not breed them.

You also need to be aware that Chihuahuas often have difficulty whelping and you may have to have a c-section - depending on where you live - this can cost anywhere from $250 to $700 plus. As with all surgeries, serious complications and even death can occur.

One more thing.... Do not let both males breed your female... AKC does check DNA and a litter cannot have two sires. Knowingly selling puppies registered to one sire, but out of another male could be considered fraud.

Answer 4

it comes natural to most animals on how to breed you cant decide when they are going to do it my suggestion is that if one of ur male dogs has a certain something you like and the female is in heat then shut them in a room or in a cage either will work and this is simple i started to start a dachshund breeding business with my cousin so this is basic knowledge i have learned since i was 12 sorry if u do not like my answer

Answer 5

What is a Chis? if it is a type of cat or dog please don't breed.
To many animals die in shelters because there are not enough homes for them. Just because you find homes for yours doesn't mean they won't end up at a shelter at some point in their lives.
DON'T BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE.
Anything else though, put one of the males in with the female and let nature take it's course. Putting both males in will cause fights.

Answer 6

Wait 6 months, until the female is in heat, and with her wanting to cross (already proven), there's no problem.

Answer 7

to start off with they are to you ng to breed and secondly they will mate on their own if you let them. look up info on the brred by word searching it

Answer 8

the females must have at least gone through their 2nd or 3rd heat first.

Answer 9

put them all in 1 room

Answer 10
